专利说明:
20 motor motor, from motor 10 to the ECU via, for example, a CAN bus (Controller Area Network). Document US5479345 discloses a method and apparatus for selecting switching points. Taking into account the factors of road inclination, the speed and gross weight of the motor vehicle in relation to the force, in horsepower, required to maintain the current speed, and taking into account a predicted engine speed and available force when completing a shift, it is determined whether or not a shift is allowed. In conventional gear systems, the control unit 110 uses tabled engine speed limits, also called gear points, which indicate the engine speed at which a downshift or upshift is to be effected in the gearbox 20, i.e. when the speed of the engine 10 passes an engine speed for one shift point, the motor vehicle 1 shifts. The shift points can therefore be understood as including information partly about when a downshift or upshift is to take place and partly about the number of shift steps to be performed at said downshift or downshift. It is common for each change point to indicate one to three change steps, but väx your change steps are possible. Figure 2 shows in principle an example of a plurality of tabulated change points forming lines SP1-SP6 in a graph where the x-axis represents motor number and the y-axis the speed of the motor 10 in the unit revolutions per minute (revolutions per minute, rpm). As long as the engine speed is between the shift lines SP1 and SP4, no shift takes place, but if the engine speed goes over a gear line e, SP1-SPS, an upshift is initiated, and correspondingly a downshift is initiated if the engine speed goes below a downshift line e, SP4-SP6. The number of upshift and downshift steps for each of the lines SP1-SP6 is given in Table 1 below. For example, if the engine speed goes over line SP1, an upshift occurs with one shift step and if the engine speed goes below line SP5, a downshift occurs with two shift steps. SP1 Upshift speed for 1 step up SP2 Upshift speed for 2 steps up SP3 Upshift speed for 3 steps up SP4 Shutdown speed for 1 step down SP5 Shutdown speed for 2 steps down 10 15 20 25 30 SP6 Shift speed for 3 steps down Table 1: Down and upshift lines SPI SP6 The choice of exchange points affects e.g. driving characteristics, acceleration, comfort and fuel consumption of the motor vehicle 1, so these must be carefully calibrated by the motor vehicle manufacturers. The calibration is done so that different shifting strategies are tested in the field during different driving situations, such as at different throttles, road inclines and train weights. The test results must then be carefully analyzed to determine the appropriate change points. This method of calibrating switching points is both time consuming and costly. In addition, the result of the calibration is not always satisfactory as the calibrated shift points may be suitable for some driving situations, but less suitable for others. Brief Description of the Invention An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative method for determining one or more downshifts and upshift points. Another object of the invention is to provide a method which fully or partially solves the problems of the prior art. A further object of the invention is to provide a method which offers an ibelexable and simple determination of one or fl your down and upshift points. According to an aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned object is achieved with a method for determining one or more of the downshift and shift points of a gearbox arranged in a motor vehicle, which motor vehicle comprises a motor connected to said gearbox for driving the same, a downshift point corresponding to a first engine speed at which said gearbox is arranged to perform a downshift and an upshift point corresponds to a second engine speed at which said gearbox is arranged to perform an upshift. Said method comprises that said one or fl your down and upshift points are determined relative to a target speed (nT, which is a desired motor speed for said motor. Embodiments of the above method are found in the dependent claims 2-11. The invention further relates to a computer program comprising program code, which when said program code is executed in a computer causes said computer to perform the method according to any one of claims 1-11. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product belonging to said computer program. According to another aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned object is achieved with a system for determining one or more downshifting and shifting points, comprising at least one control unit arranged for controlling a gearbox arranged in a motor vehicle, which motor vehicle comprises a motor connected to said gearbox for driving of the same, a downshift point corresponding to a first engine speed at which said gearbox is arranged to perform a downshift and an upshift point corresponding to a second engine speed at which said gearbox is arranged to perform an upshift. Said system is further arranged to determine said one or fl your down and upshift points relative to a target speed coT, which is a desired engine speed for said engine. The system according to the invention can also be modified according to the various embodiments of the method above. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one system as above. With a method and a system according to the invention, a flexible and simplified solution is provided for determining one or two downshifts and upshift points. Because the changeover points are related to a desired target speed, changes to the changeover points are significantly facilitated. Thus, shift configurations can be very easily adapted to changing needs by shifting the target speed up or down. Another advantage is that changes to the switching points do not require that all switching points need to be recalibrated. In general, the calibration work is significantly reduced with a method and a system according to the invention. Yet another advantage of the invention is that the shift points can be changed without the shift logic, for example in a control unit, having to become logically unstable because the shift points are controlled indirectly via the target speed and therefore the relationship between the shift points can be controlled in such a way as to avoid instability. Additional advantages and applications of a method and system according to the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the following detailed description of the present invention, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 schematically shows a part of a driveline for a rear-wheel drive motor vehicle; figure 2 shows a graph of down and upshift lines; figure 3 shows a graph of down and upshift lines related to a target speed line; and - figure 4 shows a control unit to be part of a system according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the determination of one or more downshifts and upshift points for a gearbox 20 preferably arranged in a motor vehicle 1. A downshift or upshift point corresponds to an engine speed at which the gearbox 20 is arranged to perform a downshift or upshift. Engine speeds for upshift points are higher than engine speeds for downshift points. Preferably, the gearbox 20 is of the type included in an automated shifting system, which is controlled by a control unit 110, such as an ECU. In such a system, shifts are performed automatically by the control unit 110, but it is also common for the driver to perform manual shifting in such an automated shifting system, so-called manual shift in automatic mode (automatic mode). Furthermore, the gearbox 20 has a number of gears, e.g. 12 forward gears and one or fl your reverse gears, something that is common in modern trucks. According to the invention, the down and upshift points are determined relative to a target speed coT, which is a desired engine speed for the motor vehicle's engine 10. This means that the down and upshift points are always determined on the basis of the target speed coT. Figure 3 shows a target speed line e CI) placed between upshift lines er SPI-SPS and downshift lines er SP4-SP6 illustrated as a dotted line. The figure shows with arrows how upshift lines SPI-SPS and downshift lines SP4-SP6 are related to target speed line a CD. This means that if the target speed line a Cl) is changed (parallel shifted up or down according to the dashed arrows), the motor speed of the shift lines SP1-SP6 will also be shifted in parallel. The shift lines SP1-SP6 may, for example, follow the change of target speed line a CI) proportional to a scale factor, and this scale factor may be different for upshift and downshift lines, but also the same for these, in which case an established mutual relationship between the upshift and downshift points is obtained. . It is also possible to have individual scale factors for each individual shift line SP1-SP6, i.e. that certain shift lines SP1-SP6 change more or less than other shift lines SP1-SP6 based on the same change of target speed line a CD. The invention therefore provides a method which facilitates the determination of the down and upshift points since they are always related to a target speed coT, which in turn means that a change in the value of the target speed (oT also affects the engine speed values of the shift points). known technology can be avoided, thus the invention means that time can be saved and costs reduced. The target speed coT can be determined based on assumptions and knowledge of the engine's mode of operation and performance. Generally, an engine 10 operates more efficiently and better at certain speeds compared to other speeds. By efficient and better can be meant less fuel consumption, lower vibration levels, and quieter running. According to one embodiment, the target speed OJT belongs to the engine speed range 500-25 00 rpm for all downshift and upshift points of the motor 10, and according to another embodiment preferably within the range 1000-1400 rpm. Another advantage of the method according to the invention is that adaptation of gearboxes to different engines 10 and vice versa is considerably facilitated. After determining a target speed (OT for a specific engine node or a specific automatic transmission system, the control unit 110 can then determine the shift points related to the target speed coT. Thus, the lead times for producing new motors 10 and / or automated gear systems on the market can be reduced. According to another embodiment of the invention, other parameters can also be taken into account when determining the target speed (OT. Examples of such parameters are: accelerator pedal position, driving mode, cruise control, driving resistance (ie the force which counteracts the motor vehicle 1 in its direction of travel), road inclination , engine power and map data. The parameters accelerator pedal position, driving node (corresponds to different predetermined driving modes that can be selected in an automatic transmission system, eg economy mode or "poWer" mode) and cruise control setting means that the driver can directly influence the target speed (nT and thus indirectly down and upshift points because these are related to the target speed (OT. For example, this embodiment can be implemented so that the target speed OJT is determined by driving node and accelerator pedal position. The accelerator pedal position can affect the target speed coT using a table that translates the accelerator pedal position to change the target speed so that more gas gives a higher target speed The other parameters, driving resistance, road slope, engine power and map data, can also be used to determine the target speed (OT and can be obtained by means of sensors and intelligent signaling and control systems now found in motor vehicles 1. It should be noted that not all of the above parameters need to be considered without one or more in combination can give good results, or that they are used alternately by a control unit 110 such as an ECU. The target speed OJT can further be a preset parameter that can be adjusted at an engine workshop by a service technician. With such an embodiment of the invention, the target speed (øT) is a parameter which is kept static between the adjustment times. Adjustment of the target speed (oT means that it can be tuned for improved performance and / or for individual adjustment of the driving characteristics depending on the customer's preferences. According to another embodiment of the invention, the target speed (OT) is a dynamic parameter. For example, a dynamic parameter can be changed by the driver by means of a control unit (manual control), such as a cruise control, accelerator pedal, etc. A dynamic parameter can also be changed with a system of sensors and signal and control system (automatic control) described above. It is also possible to combine manual and automatic control, with or without map data, where map data includes, for example, topographical information on roads that can be used together with GPS technology. It is also possible to dynamically control the target speed ooT by means of wireless communication (eg satellite communication system or mobile communication system, such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE or LTE) by a communication center sending control signals via a wireless communication system to the motor vehicle 1 for control. of the target speed OJT. With an embodiment as above where the target speed coT is a dynamic parameter, the driving characteristics can be continuously controlled according to the prevailing circumstances. According to yet another embodiment of the invention, down and downshift points are calculated in real time, and in addition to being related to a target speed (01. they may also depend on one or more of the parameters belonging to the group including: change of engine speed during shift defined as a difference in an engine speed at a time when a shift is initiated to an engine speed at a time when said shift is completed; changing the speed of the motor vehicle 1 at shift; and the torque curve of said engine 10. For example, the difference in engine speed during shifting can be used to calculate which engine speed The engine's torque can be used to calculate the motor vehicle's acceleration during and after shifting, which in turn affects how much the engine speed must be changed.The advantage of this embodiment is e.g. that the target speed coT can be immediately adapted to the prevailing driving conditions conditions of the motor vehicle 1. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that a method for determining one or more downshifts and upshifts of the present invention may additionally be implemented in a computer program, which when executed in a computer causes the computer to perform the method. The computer program is included in a computer-readable medium of a computer program product, said computer-readable medium consisting of a suitable memory, such as, for example: ROM (Read-Only Memory), PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory), EPROM (Erasable PROM), Flash memory, EEPROM (Electrically Erasable PROM), a hard disk drive, etc. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for determining one or more of the down and upshift points. The system comprises at least one control unit (eg an ECU for a gearbox 20), which is arranged to control a gearbox 20 in a motor vehicle 1. The gearbox 20 is connected to a motor 10 which drives the gearbox 20 and other parts of the driveline. According to the inventive idea, the system is arranged to determine one or fl your down and upshift points relative to a target speed (oT, which is a desired motor speed for the motor 10. Figure 4 schematically shows a control unit 110. The control unit 110 comprises a calculation unit 111, which may be constituted by substantially any suitable type of processor or microcomputer, e.g. a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The calculation unit 111 is connected to a memory unit 112 arranged in the control unit 110, which provides the calculation unit 111 e.g. the stored program code and / or the stored data calculation unit 111 is needed to be able to perform calculations. The calculation unit 111 is also arranged to store partial or final results of calculations in the memory unit 1 12. Furthermore, the control unit 110 is provided with devices 113, 114, 115, 116 for receiving and transmitting input and output signals, respectively. These input and output signals may contain waveforms, pulses, or other attributes, which of the input signals 113, 116 may be detected as information and may be converted into signals which may be processed by the computing unit 111. These signals are then provided to the computing unit 111. The devices 114, 115 for transmitting output signals are arranged to convert signals obtained from the calculation unit 111 for creating output signals by e.g. modulate the signals, which can be transmitted to other parts of the system for determining down and upshift points. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned computer may be the computing unit 111 and that the above-mentioned memory may be the memory unit 112. Each of the connections to the devices for receiving and transmitting input and output signals, respectively, may be one or two of a cable; a data bus, such as a CAN bus, a Media Orientated Systems Transport (MOST) bus, or any other bus configuration; or by a wireless connection. The connections 70, 80, 90, 100 in Figure 1 may also be one or more of these cables, buses, or wireless connections. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that the above system can be modified according to the various embodiments of the method for determining one or more downshifts and upshifts according to the invention. In addition, the invention relates to a motor vehicle 1, such as a truck or bus, comprising at least one system for determining one or more downshifting and shifting points according to the invention. Finally, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments of the invention but relates to and encompasses all embodiments within the scope of the appended independent claims.
